why do we feel good when we get our hands on some food? maybe a few scientific reasons like energy, survival, etc. but I am really wanting to know why we psycologically want food? this is in relation to the dog in Pavlov's conditioning experiments

Have any of you suddenly became fixated on a certain food? Did it go away or did your tastes just change making you like it more? I'm just curious because I've developed a fixation over a generally unhealty food, bacon. I've got the metabolism to make up for it but regardless I know it...

I work there and I feel a bit guilty for providing people an opportunity to eat unhealthy food. People make their own choice to eat there but still, you wouldn't taunt an alcoholic with a beer and call it moral. I'm just curious if this forum things the service provided and the charity work...

Three little known equalities: From Smirnov: \theta_{\mbox{sun}} + \theta_{\mbox{cabibbo}} = {\pi \over 4} From De Vries: \ln {m_\tau \over m_\mu} = \pi - {1 \over \pi} From Smirnov again: \sqrt {m_\mu \over m_\tau} \sim \sin \theta_{\mbox{Cab.} } Can anyone predict them...

Today I went to an ice-cream shop and got a medium sized cup (maybe 8 oz) of "Cake Batter" ice-cream. It's very very sweet and rich, tasted just like cake batter, and before I ate half of it, I started feeling sick. I'm sure you've all had the feeling before, when you're eating something really...

Guys/Gals: I'm sick of sad news. I'm worn out with having to tiptoe around so I don't step on bugs. I'm tired of pedaling miles every night to feed the Alley Kitties. I want some Virtual Cake. Good cake, with icing. I want you to make me a Cake, and do it good-heartedly. The next day, I...

Why do our space "scientists" send Tang and other dehydrated food into space; to save weight? We take along the water needed to rehydrate the food. Where is the weight savings? In grade school we used to joke about the guy that sent an overcoat to his friend but cut off the buttons to save...

http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=IA17204 I haven't searched for this on the .gov site. When I find it, I'll post that as well unless someone beats me to it. (hint hint) *snip* *snip*

Do you ever get cravings for a certain food? A few weeks ago I HAD to have salted cashews. I ate two cans of them in a couple of days. Yesterday it was olives. I notice I tend to crave salty foods.

A http://muller.lbl.gov/teaching/Physics10/chapters/1-Explosions.htm listed what I have posted below. Does it make sense to compare the calories of a chocolate chip cookie to the calories of TNT? Maybe there is more calories in TNT than 1 but not all of it can be released fast enough to be...

I'm eating some chinese food now. About 2 minutes ago it was hot and tasted good, now it's just kind of warm and isn't as appealing. Why is that?

what is best,a machine we use in the food industry, cycles at 30rpm a direct drive cam opperates a lifter that travels 500mm up and down, the machine is washed down every night,there is no particulate matter. so would linear bearings or bushes be best for lifter? "lubrication is minimal"

You know how David Blaine is doing this stunt where he's not going to eat for the next 44 days. Well, how do you think his body will cope ? BTW i take it that this isn't a trick. http://www.channel4.com/davidblaine BBC News - David Blaine

the riots at UC Davis and Sacramento convinced me it's time we brought up the issue of genetically modified food. is it right? should we tamper with nature? personally, i have no problem with it. as long as it is striped of its ability to reproduce (which could throw centruries of...

For lack of a better term, how does your body know why to throw up. How does it detect and recognize something that shouldn't be in the stomach? For instance, how does it's know if food has gone bad?
